Eco-Friendly Bicycle Cards
I guess it had to happen. USPCC seem to make cards for every occasion and every type of user. And Cards4Magic are now stocking these rather environmentally pleasing ‘Eco Edition’ Cards. According to the blerb:
Bicycle® Eco Edition is a fully recyclable case and deck. These cards are made from sustainable forest papers, starch-based laminating and vegetable-based inks.
Sounds good to me.

Bicycle Karnival Midnights – First Look!
So I only got these today, but here are a few pics and some comments on the new Bicycle Karnival Midnights from Big Blind Media. First of all the pics…
Karnival Midnights
What can we say?…
Well, as you will see, they are at heart, a black version of the original Karnival deck (see side by side comparison pic above). If you loved that, you’ll love these. Like their older brothers they have a subtle one-way back design. Always useful. There is less ‘noisey bleed’ (if you know what I mean) into the (white) border of the cards – which I think looks better. And, in fact, there are additional corner flourishes which look rather elegant.
Top quality USPCC card stock, so they handle really well. No problems there.
Barcode reveal on pack (see inset pic on right).
Extra double back card – very useful for lots of routines. A ‘BBM Advertising Card’ which also has a pic of a skull wearing a crown with another reveal (Q of H) on the bottom – see below:
They’re shipping now – so head over to Big Blind Media to get some before they’re gone…
Trick of the Month – May 2009
 |
Any Card at Any Number (ACAAN) is a plot I am slightly obsessed with! So I was delighted to discover this new instant download (55page) with a very strong version of this effect and several variations and extras. Well worth a look at £19.99 |

The classic Koran prediction is given a different twist by the talented Stephen Tucker. You deal through the cards and stop where the spectator says (no force). A duplicate of their chosen card is in the specially produced leather wallet. Currently on special at only £8.05 |

This is as clever (and atmospheric) a version of a ‘living and dead’ test as you’ll ever find. All themed around the Titanic. Comes with nicely produced cards, but the principle can be extended to different themes and presentations. A great effect. £29.99. |
